BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:

Began working in radio at WROQ Rock 101 in Greenville, SC and worked there for 13 years. Moved from there with an ownership change and went to Charleston, SC and worked at WYBB & WCOO for 12 years. Moved from there to Columbia, SC and worked for 92.1 The Palm for 4 years. Working now with Alpha Media in Columbia, SC and I've been here 2 years this month.

1. After working at cross-town Triple A WWNU (92.1 The Palm), what led you to current Alpha Media/Columbia, SC programming post?

Hometown Columbia sold the signal to EMF so no job led me to take another job. I was fortunate to meet Mike Hartel and Hunter Meyer (then PD for 102.3 The Fox) and have some very positive conversations with them. They brought me on-board about the time we were planning the launch or Rock 99.7 or as we like to call it The Panda.
